    Arthur Chu Retweeted Emily VanDerWerff  🙋‍♀️

    I had the most tiresome arguments with fundie classmates over whether it was theoretically possible for Jonah's story to be literally true if God gave him an invisible magic diving suit after the whale ate him for the sake of making his point or somethinghttps://twitter.com/emilyvdw/status/1362945543312302080 …

    Arthur Chu added,

    Emily says: And then God is, like, "HERE'S A STORM, AND IF YOU SAILORS THROW JONAH INTO THE SEA, I'LL TAKE IT AWAY." 5:52 So they do. 5:52 And the storm goes away. 5:53 And Jonah is, like, "I'm sorry I doubted you, Lord. I'll do anything to make it up to you if you just keep me from drowning." 5:53 At which point -- giant fish, which is the record scratch freeze frame "Yep that's me" of this story in the popular consciousness. Then Cassie says: that’s a really bad parable

        It's not even that it's generally impossible for a whale (or whatever giant sea creature) to swallow something the size of an adult human and survive, although it is It's the part where *Jonah* survives, and not just that but is *conscious*

        And spends the whole time inside the whale feeling bad and praying for forgiveness and shit This is *in the depths of the ocean* Where is he getting air from with which to say anything to God

        The Jonah story is such a problem for Biblical literalists that someone went viral in the 19th century for saying it happened to him, even though his own wife later told everyone he was bullshittinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bartley …

        (The reference to Jonah in the Disney classic Pinocchio with Geppetto living in there for like a month greatly exaggerates the size of even the largest whales while taking immense liberties with their anatomy)

        (An air pocket that big inside its body cavity would be... at the very least, extremely uncomfortable Maybe that's why Monstro is so grumpy, from being gassy)

        I really don't understand that American Fundamentalist mentality, of insisting that the Bible is literally true but then wanting to find physical scientific explanations of miracles

        (Assuming that it's a literally true story) He's God, it happened because He's God and He wanted it to happen, so it did.

        Replying to @arthur_affect

        Yeah, in my experience most of them are still hung up on “It wasn’t a WHALE it was a BIG FISH” and I had to remind them that that’s even worse, because, y’know, mammals at least have some air in there, but they weren’t really big on science

        If it was a miracle, why do christians even care if it's possible or not?
